    Simplify the trigonometric expression. Tan(x)/sec(-x)
    tan(x)/sec(-x)

    sec(-x)=sec(x)
    so
    tan(x)/sec(-x)
    =tan(x)/sec(x)

    putting tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x) and sec(x)=1/cos(x),we get

    =[sin(x)/cos(x)]/[1/cos(x)]
    =[sin(x)/cos(x)]*cos(x)
    =sin(x)


    I hope it helped.
